How do you cook morels?

[bbarker]

Just curious as to what everyone else out there does. We have a pretty simple thing we do....roll them in flour, sprinkle of salt and pan fry in butter. Crispier the better

 

[grimor]

same here, it's how dad did it, it's how grandpa did it...

 

[nsenneking]

when we would find to many to eat fresh my dad use to dehydrate them and then use them in a cream of mushroom sauce to put over deer steaks. yummm

Flour then deep fry..

Flour and fry or put into scrambled eggs. Either way they are awesome

Pan-fry or drop them in a stew.

I used to flour and fry like the other posters on here. However, I have come to realize that I love the taste and texture much more if I skip the flour and/ or egg. I simply slice the morels lengthwise and cook them in a skillet with real butter, garlic, onion flakes, a little basil, oregano, salt, and curry. Those that have tried them cooked this way have fallen in love with them. This recipe may not suit your palet, but why not give it a try?

 

[Yeah]

I pan fry them same as above.

Also made soup this year. Risotto, baked some into bread, put some in a tomato sauce, added a few to a stir fry.

I usually add them to some kind of egg dish but I much prefer chanterelles with eggs and those aren't too far away.

Flour and fry.

Flour and fry in butter. Tried deep frying them once but didn't taste the same. Only thing it did was speed up the process!

 

[sepe]

I don't eat them but everyone in my family that does either does the flour (or rolled in crumbled crackers) and salt/pepper or scrambled eggs.

NOnononononono. -1 for everyone who rolls them in flour and destroys them. Except JetGirl. You can't even TASTE them after you do that. It's like getting some great fresh fish... then taking it to Long John Silver's and having them prepare it for you. Stop that. +1 to putting them with eggs, or in some pasta. Saute them in some butter with just a little garlic, put them on a steak or on a burger. Heathens.

Yup, water, flower, salt, pepper, maybe a bit a cayenne pepper, then fry

Growing up I always had them pan fried and I guess I've just stuck with that over the years.

Ingredients: 2-3 eggs (depending on batch), butter, salt, Kellogg's Corn Flake Crumbs (not the cereal, but the Crumbs.)

- Whisk eggs in bowl until well mixed.
- Fill another bowl with the Corn Flake Crumbs.
- Add a pinch of salt if desired. (I prefer Kosher salt for more flavor, but use less.)
- Dip morels into egg mixture
- Lightly coat both sides of morel with Kellogg's Corn Flake Crumbs.
- Fry in lots of butter and flip when light brown.
- Add more butter as necessary until done. Delicious!

If done correctly, this is pretty close to a religious experience...

Flour,egg,cracker crumbs pan fry in a little oil. Just had a mess of them last night. Oh season the flour of course.
